The church's name derives from the fact that it was built on the base of a palace donated by Alfonso VII of Castile. It is also known as 'La Aguja' ('the Needle') or 'La Imperial'. The church was founded in the 11th century, and subsequently rebuilt in the 12th century and extended in the 16th century. The church has three naves ending in apse chapels. The transept is covered by an octagonal dome which is extended on the outside in a Gothic-style pyramidal tower. Highlights of the interior include a main altarpiece by Arnao of Brussels.
